Dear Editor,
I have read in the newspaper dated Thursday September 7, 2017 an article bearing the caption, “koker breaks away at Met-en-Meerzorg” and wish to pontificate for the purpose of sensitization and edification actions of the Regional Executive Officer – Mr. Denis Jaikaran on the day in question.
To begin with, the Divisional Commander – Mr. Leslie James made contact with me through the Deputy Regional Executive Officer – Ms. Jennifer Dougall and provided transportation to the site. On my way to the site I communicated with Mr. Jaikaran who was at the time travelling in the Essequibo River returning from site visits. Mr. Jaikaran upon his arrival was briefed by yours truly about the situation after which a GUYSUCO representative informed us that equipment is on the way to the site. A couple of minutes later we were joined by officers from the Sea Defence Commission, Regional Administration and NDIA. Infact the CEO – Mr. Flatts himself was present on site.
Secondly, the Regional Executive Officer after being briefed of the situation left the site and visited surrounding communities. He interacted with worried residents and assured them that the situation was under control due to teamwork from GUYSUCO, NDIA, SEA DEFENCE and REGIONAL ADMINISTRATION.
Thirdly, the Regional Executive Officer returned to the site and stayed extremely late with the workers. He assured the workers that should more resources be needed he will happily provide same.
Fourthly, the Regional Executive Officer revisited the site on the morning of September 7, 2017 and had a first hand look at the situation after which he went back into the surrounding communities and spoke once again with residents.
Fifthly, the Regional Executive Officer revisited again in the afternoon of September 7, 2017 and again spoke with residents. He indicated that his presence would be felt until final normalcy is restored even though no severe flooding was reported.
Editor, the REO did not surprise me with his actions and I am certain he did not surprise many others but for the sake of information I believe it is necessary to document on record his involvement with reference to this situation. In conclusion, it is necessary to congratulate all who made it possible in bringing the situation under complete control especially GUYSUCO, NDIA, SEA DEFENCE and of course REGIONAL ADMINISTRATION REGION 3.
Ganesh Mahipaul.
